Because of work, parents spend less and less time with their babies now. Then, if we make full use of this limited time to help our children lay a good foundation of English as a boy, it will become a topic that parents are more concerned about.

First of all, we should understand the law of children's language development, that is, grasp the language "window period" of children aged 0-6. At this age, in order to communicate with parents, children urgently need to improve their language skills. It is precisely because of the needs of life that children aged 0-6 develop their language faster.

Secondly, parents need to know the characteristics of English and how to enlighten the second language scientifically. Different from Chinese, English belongs to phonography, and its pronunciation and font basically correspond. This is exactly what Miao's father repeatedly emphasized. The most important thing is to accumulate 1000+ English listening vocabulary first, and if possible, it is best to accumulate 3000+ English listening vocabulary.

As for how to carry out second language enlightenment, Miao's father also shared many methods. Today, I will introduce three training methods to help parents learn English with their babies effectively.

0 1

Play middle school

I often listen to some precious mothers, collect a lot of information and learn a lot of methods, but the children just don't listen or cooperate, which is really a headache. I believe that there are not a few babies in similar situations.

What's the problem? In the final analysis, it lies in the desire to "dream of success." Specifically, there is a problem with the teaching method or the way of parent-child interaction. In early childhood, parents should play English with their children first. The baby will listen to you as long as he is happy.

Children's English enlightenment pays attention to interest cultivation. Don't expect your child to learn much at first, but pay attention to whether the baby is happy or not. This is why Miao's father often shares some English enlightenment games, such as:

English enlightenment: 100 children's English game, entertaining and learning English (with material).

English Enlightenment: The most complete sharing of 20 TPR parent-child interactive games (1)

English enlightenment: the most complete sharing of 20 TPR parent-child interactive games (part two)

Especially when I see some babies playing the creative game of "Miao Dad's English Enlightenment TPR Flash Card", I will often share it with the group to help everyone open their minds and learn from each other.

In addition, buying English game books for teaching is also a good choice. As the saying goes, parents are children's first teachers. To be a teacher loved by children, we must learn to interact with children by playing games. If you pay a little attention, you will find that almost all foreign teachers are good at helping children "play with middle school".

In family English enlightenment, English should not be taught as a subject, but as a tool to interact with children. Parents should not only collect all kinds of English interactive games, but also play games with their children in English every day, and try not to repeat the same things every day to increase their children's freshness and interest.

Learning English in life

The main reason why you forget English quickly is that you just can't use it, especially in oral English and writing. If you don't use it often, you will soon forget it.

Speaking and writing are two very important skills, just like riding a bike, swimming and driving. Without practice, optical theory can never be learned. These skills also have the same characteristics. Once mastered, it can be maintained for a long time.

Why is this happening? This is because all the above skills have a common feature, which belongs to "muscle memory", that is, from visual memory to "muscle memory". When we intend to use these "muscles", it is like a conditioned reflex, naturally activating potential and restoring muscle vitality.

Knowing this theoretical feature, when we are engaged in English enlightenment, especially English listening and speaking training, we must use what we have learned in daily life scenes, so that our brains can remember not only words, but the scenes used by words.

Therefore, when you use the "Miao Dad's English Enlightenment TPR Flash Card" for parent-child interaction, you must perform the scenes on the flash card in your life, not just holding the card for children to play with.

First of all, let the baby listen and point out the corresponding physical objects at home, and the baby will have a sense of accomplishment. This is also a game that can never be tired of playing. Secondly, the TPR (Total Body Response) action phrases are combined with daily life scenes.

For example, before brushing your teeth, parents say: brush your teeth. The children began to brush their teeth after hearing English instructions. Repeat it every morning and evening, 60 times a month, so frequently used that children will never forget it.

Finally, whether doing manual work, painting, shopping or housework, parents should try their best to describe the process in English, for example, describing the process of washing dishes after meals in English:

After dinner, I took the dirty dishes to the kitchen. Then I started washing them. I turned on the tap and the water flooded all the dishes in the sink. After that, I added some detergent to the water.

After dinner, I took the dirty dishes to the kitchen. Then I started washing dishes. I turned on the tap and the water flooded all the dishes in the sink. Then I put some detergent in the water.

How to learn numbers

In the English exam, the questions about numbers are very difficult. Especially when you speak very fast, when you hear phone numbers, prices, etc., your brain is easy to collapse and you can't react at once. Adults are not sensitive to numbers, you can only listen more and practice more.

If you want to improve your sensitivity to English numbers, you can only train from an early age and form a conditioned reflex over time. Just like we are listening to chinese numerals now, we feel more relaxed because of the long-term input and output training.

If children train English numbers, it is recommended to use the "digital building blocks" produced by the British BBC. The English name is Numberblocks, which consists of Blue-Zoo Productions and letter building blocks. This program mainly teaches children how to calculate and do some simple arithmetic.

Digital building blocks are a companion piece of natural spelling animation Alphablocks. Numbers appear in the form of building blocks, telling children the basic concepts of Arabic numerals and addition and subtraction through easy-to-understand stories.

Most importantly, watching this teaching cartoon can not only help children to enlighten mathematics, but also learn mathematics through English, and improve their English level by the way, killing two birds with one stone.

After learning digital building blocks, you can find some listening questions such as phone numbers to test. There are two difficulties in topics such as telephone numbers:

(1)0 is usually pronounced as a letter.

(2) When the two numbers are the same, read the double+number. For example, 66 is pronounced double six.

In fact, in our daily life, there are many opportunities to contact numbers, and children can be trained to read numbers in English. For example, seeing your own or someone else's license plate number, the number of floors in the elevator, and the payment for shopping in the supermarket are all good opportunities to train children. After a long time, children will have the concept of numbers, and the reaction speed to numbers will gradually increase.

Today's sharing is over. See you tomorrow!
